This one actually started as a Week 4 project but I couldn't get it to go anywhere. I dug it up this week in the hope I could figure out how to make it work. I decided to do a "walking through creepy woods at night" thing and it just kind of snowballed. Honestly not sure how it happened since all the decisions were made quickly in the past couple days. Lots of listening back to make sure everything seemed to flow okay from one part to the other, get the instruments to at least sit okay (still struggle with mixing) and introduce any kind of variation.

The crows are a public domain recording from freesound.org from a user called freethinkeranon. I had to scoop out the city noise, layer it a couple times, and add wing flapping (just flipping around a pair of leather gloves in front of my H6). The roar is a combination of two slowed-down sounds: a belch and a goofy yell I did for a different project. The thunder/wind and walking are my own field recordings. Patches are all original, and the two snares are the only not-me samples.

I don't know if it's good, but this one was fun to create!
